My Bakery in Brooklyn

It's a sort of feel-good rom com with a dash of fantasy -they missed that bit out of the blurb! - but it's short on the feel-good, the rom is set out and obvious and although it's light, there there's really no com.

It's a TV movie if anything, something to waste - sorry, while away - an afternoon when there's absolutely nothing else on the telly. I kinda like the conceit although I suspect I'm in the minority, but it could have been much better.

The fantasy addition is sorta weird and some of the set pieces jar - such as cooking without aprons (as if you would) but having no flour or marks on your clothing.

It's light, not as fluffy as a souffle should be and, unfortunately, nowhere near as tasty.

I really laughed about how goofy the whole scenario is! Model looking actors bumping into each other accidentally , a man "trapped" into a bread basket for an intire afternoon - like how is it even possible?? Well if you believe in modern fairytails - actually if you need desperately to believe in one- then yes this is your movie. Otherwise don' t waste your time in a non existing storyline. There are so many nice comedies. This is not one.

This romantic comedy is probably more of a fantasy tale than anything else. There were a few chuckles and some sweet moments along the way, but, unfortunately, I found most of the film to be quite unfunny even annoying at times.

Two cousins Vivien and Chloe, Aimee Teegarden and Krysta Rodriguez respectively, lost their parents on the same day in an accident, and were taken in by their Aunt Isabelle, who owns a long established bakery in Brooklyn. However, when Isabelle suddenly passes and leaves the shop to her two nieces, she also leaves a huge debt load to the bank, who is looking to foreclose on the property asap. Thus, Vivien and Chloe will race against time to find a way of keeping the bakery afloat.

There's actually a large ensemble cast here, whose characters all intersect with each other throughout the movie. The film was directed by Gustavo Ron, who also co-wrote the script with Paco Zegers.

Overall, as mentioned, there are some moments to like here but the movie just came across to me, for the most part, as too awkward and staged, so that I couldn't connect with its characters.

I see from other comments, this did not get the best reviews. It's not a bad movie, the storyline was there, I'm goin to place blame on the director for this movie not doing as well as it could have. It just didn't have that big ah-ha moment. Great movie for a rainy day or if you are bored or under the weather yourself. Definitely worth a look. I thought it was okay, I also rarely agree with critics either.

Cute Rom/Com that is decent for the whole family until the head banker is introduced. Suddenly F-bombs are flying. Scene over, back to a family movie.
